Question 1

1. What exactly do you do?

Accepted Answer

I support parents whose children aren’t thriving at school, whether that’s because of learning challenges, behavioural issues, a diagnosis, or if you can just tell they are quietly struggling. I help you unpack what’s going on, what’s getting in the way, and what needs to shift. From there, I work directly with your child’s classroom teacher through emails and ongoing liaison to ensure we’re all working from the same page. We will work towards:
 • A set of tailored classroom adjustments
 Practical, doable changes to expectations, environment, routines, transitions, and communication.
 • Ongoing refinement
 Checking what’s helping, what isn’t, and making gentle tweaks as the term unfolds.
 • Support with behaviour as communication
 Helping teachers and parents understand what your child is trying to communicate through their behaviour and how to respond.
 • Teacher-friendly scripts and suggestions
 Specific ways teachers can phrase instructions or feedback to support your child’s regulation and confidence.
 • Home strategies that complement school
 Simple, realistic ideas to help you support your child at home
 • Regular parent check-ins
Short, grounded conversations where we review progress, see what’s working and what's not  and decide the next focus.

Question 2

2. Who is this support for?

Accepted Answer

I work with families of children in Kindergarten through to Year 6. This includes children with formal diagnoses, those who are gifted, or any child who feels overwhelmed, overlooked, or is not quite thriving within the classroom. If you're worried, you're in the right place.

Question 3

3. Do you offer NDIS-funded services

Accepted Answer

I am not a registered NDIS provider, but families who self-manage or plan-manage their NDIS funding may be able to claim my services under relevant support categories (e.g. Capacity Building, Improved Daily Living). Check with your plan manager.

Question 4

4. Do you work directly with schools?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I initiate and maintain all communication with the school, liaise directly with teachers, follow up, and coordinate next steps.

Question 5

5. What ages do you work with?

Accepted Answer

I work with children in Kindergarten to Year 6. My experience and resources are tailored specifically to primary school settings. At this time, I don’t offer support for high school students.

Question 6

6. Will my child's teacher be offended if I engage you?

Accepted Answer

It’s natural to worry about this. But teachers are often relieved to have support in understanding and meeting a child's needs. When you communicate clearly and kindly, it’s seen as collaboration, not criticism.

Question 7

7. What kinds of things will you help us with?

Accepted Answer

We look at why school isn't working and help make it feel more possible again. That might include understanding your child's learning profile, co-creating classroom adjustments, preparing for meetings, drafting emails, reframing behaviour, and making small, manageable changes at home.

Question 8

8. Can you help even if there's no diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many of the families I work with have children who don't have a diagnosis (yet or at all), but still need support. Your concerns are valid, and early advocacy often prevents bigger issues later.

Question 9

9. What if I’m not sure my child’s issues are "serious enough"?

Accepted Answer

If you’re unsure, but something feels off, that’s enough. You don’t need to wait for things to get worse. A single conversation can bring clarity and peace of mind.

Question 10

10. What packages do you offer?

Accepted Answer

I offer 2 core options:

• The First Step: A structured 60-minute consult to help you unpack what’s going on and explore next steps.
 • 10 Week Reset: A full-term  (or 10 week) package where I lead the process, liaising directly with the school and supporting you and your child throughout.

Question 11

11. Can I upgrade to a bigger package later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you start with a phone consultation and choose to upgrade, the cost of that call will be deducted from the next package.

Question 12

12. Will you write reports or attend school meetings?

Accepted Answer

I don’t attend in-person school meetings but I connect with teachers via phone or video call. I don’t write formal reports, but I do provide written communication and informed insights to support clear, collaborative conversations.

Question 13

13. What kinds of resources will we get?

Accepted Answer

In the 10 week Reset full term support, you'll receive personalised toolkits, checklists, emotional scripts, behavioural reframes, email templates, advocacy roadmaps, and more. These are practical and grounded in evidence.

Question 14

14. What if my child is gifted but still struggling?

Accepted Answer

This is common, and I work with many families like yours. Gifted children can struggle emotionally, socially, or feel unseen in the classroom. My role is to help teachers see what's really going on and support your child accordingly.

Question 15

15. What if I don’t feel comfortable contacting the school myself?

Accepted Answer

That’s okay. If you're not ready or don't have the bandwidth, the 10 Week Reset package is for you. In this option, I take the lead on all school communication.

Question 16

16. How many families do you support at once?

Accepted Answer

To stay present and responsive, I limit the number of families I work with at one time. For the 10 Week Reset, I only take on a small number each term.

Question 17

17. Can I join mid-term?

Accepted Answer

There may be availability mid-term. Dependent on your situation, I will always do my best to help. Let's chat about it.
